His work spans operating\-systems research, machine learning, health\-focused AI, software\-language features, and competitive robotics leadership\. Arnav is strongest in applying core machine\-learning methods and deep\-learning architectures to real\-world data, including parquet\-based systems data and DementiaBank audio samples\. As an Operating Systems Research Intern through UT Austin Academy for All, he explored ML\-driven operating\-systems design and achieved 86% accuracy with a hybrid XGBoost and deep\-learning model\. At UT Health San Antonio, Arnav analyzed more than 1,200 audio samples for vocal biomarkers and trained four AI architectures that reached approximately 87% accuracy in Alzheimer’s classification\. That work placed fifth at the Greater Austin Regional Science and Engineering Fair, and a related paper was accepted for pending publication in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease Reports\. Arnav has also contributed as a Function Repository Editor at Wolfram\|Alpha and led fundraising and corporate pitching for FIRST Robotics Competition Team 2468, helping secure more than $50,000 in sponsorships\. ## Services - User Experience \(UX\) - Information Technology Infrastructure - Computer Science - UG - Tutoring - Calculus ## Highlights - Turing Scholar at The University of Texas at Austin\. - Pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science at The University of Texas at Austin\. - Explored machine\-learning\-driven operating\-systems design as a Research Intern through UT Austin Academy for All\. - Studied KNN and K\-Means algorithms in operating\-systems research\. - Applied a hybrid XGBoost and deep\-learning model to parquet\-based systems data, achieving 86% accuracy\. - Analyzed more than 1,200 DementiaBank audio samples for vocal biomarkers at UT Health San Antonio\. - Examined MFCCs, GTCCs, pitch, and jitter in DementiaBank audio data\. - Trained four AI architectures for Alzheimer’s classification, achieving approximately 87% accuracy\. - Placed fifth at the Greater Austin Regional Science and Engineering Fair for Alzheimer’s\-classification research\. - Collaborated with UTSA researchers on a paper accepted for pending publication in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease Reports\. - Helped enhance Wolfram\|Alpha language features as a Function Repository Editor, including symbolic simplification and neural\-network integration\. - Served as Pitching Lead and Scouting Member for FIRST Robotics Competition Team 2468\. - Led fundraising and corporate pitches that helped raise more than $50,000 in sponsorships for FRC Team 2468’s competitive season\. - Contributed to two FRC World Championship qualifications with Team 2468\. - Contributed to one Worlds division\-finalist finish with FRC Team 2468\. ## Experience - **Research Intern \(Operating Systems\) at The University of Texas at Austin** (2025\-08\-01–2025\-08\-01) — UT Austin Academy for All: Explored ML\-driven operating systems design studied core algorithms \(KNN, K\-Means\) and applied a hybrid XGBoost \+ deep learning model to parquet\-based systems data, achieving 86% accuracy\. - **Function Repository Editor at Wolfram\|Alpha LLC** (2025\-06\-01–2026\-07\-01) — Helped enhance language features \(e\.g\. symbolic simplification, neural net integration\) - **Research Intern at UT Health San Antonio** (2025\-01\-01–2025\-08\-01) — \- Analyzed 1,200\+ DementiaBank audio samples for vocal biomarkers \(MFCCs, GTCCs, pitch, jitter\) trained 4 AI architectures, achieving ~87% accuracy in Alzheimer’s classification, placed 5th at the Greater Austin Regional Science and Engineering Fair\. \-Collaborated with UTSA researchers paper accepted, pending publication at Journal of Alzheimer's Disease Reports\. - **Pitching Lead & Scouting Member \- FRC 2468 at FIRST** (2023\-05\-01–2026\-05\-01) — Qualified 2x for Worlds,1x Worlds division finalist Led fundraising and corporate pitches helped raise 50k\+ in sponsorships to fund the team's competitive season\. ## Education - Bachelor of Science, Computer Science — The University of Texas at Austin (2026\-08\-01–2030\-05\-01) - Westlake High School (2022\-01\-01–2026\-01\-01) ## FAQ ### What does Arnav do?
